KNOW.NOTHINGISM.
1t is Rapidly Growing in Favor in the
South.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Sept. 2s.-LSpecial
Telegram to the BEE. That the know'noth-
ing party will have fast hold on the south is
apparent from the drift of opinion in this
state. The Mecklenburg PresDytery, which
has just been in session, discussed the ques-
tion of Roman Catholic encroachments, and
passed resolution calling on its members to
leave Catholic institutions alone. Dr. j. B.
Mack took a strong ground against permit
ting Roman Catholicism to become in
trenched in this country. He said that the
next twenty years would decide the religion
of the United States and that the United
States would decide the religion of the whole
world, and whatever this decision should be
it would stand for the next 900 years. DIR.
Mack has been answered in spirited man
ner by Rev. Mack 5. Gross, brother of the
Roman Catholic bishop of Oregon. AS the
Prebvterians are unusually strong in North
and South Carolina, their Willingness to en-
gage in war with the Catholic church shows
their readiness 70 fall into some new line,
and it is intimated there are Presbyterians in
both states willing to take advantage OF the
opportunity.
